Glad you enjoyed watching it. Hard to believe it was that long ago.

I know it seems silly, but I LOVE that the sound stages haven't changed colors in the last 30+ years. That cream/taupe/grey aesthetic with the bold "STAGE XX" font really is timeless. Thank you so much for uploading this. The Backlot Tour is probably my FAVORITE theme park ride of all time.

You really got to learn more about the lot history here compared to today's tour. Really brought me back seeing all those familure roads I used to drive on ( the 480 building!) every day! RIP King Kong ride, The Collapsing Bridge, Jaws Fisherman (with blood), Burning House, Batlestar Galatica and arctic tunnel! :-)

I used to help a Friend of mine work on K.I.T.T. and I always dropped by the Battlestar Galactica Attraction whenever I went there as well Good Job of taking me back

Thank you for the upload -- I'm old enough to where my parents brought me to Universal Studios as a kid around this same era (late 80's to early 90's), so this certainly brings back memories. I know the tram tour has changed quite a bit, but many of these attractions are still here today.

Some excellent footage on this one! The BTTF 2 set was easily the highlight. The old BSG play bit was super interesting. And seeing the actual Orca still on the lake in the Jaws set was super cool. Good times!

This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing this. I took this tour in 1998 but we didn't go through some of the areas you did. Although I'm sure some of it changed as well.

Thank you for the video. I started frequenting this place late 1994 (when I moved to LA for college -- I was still living in Georgia when this was filmed, and hadn't even moved to NorCal yet), and it's crazy to see it even 5 years earlier. I _loved_ the old tram tour. Jimmy Fallon on the recent tour is terrible, and I miss the old King Kong so much (though I get why they couldn't rebuild him after her burned in 2008) Just an insane trip to the "extra" past, and seeing the square while they were setting up for BTTF 2 is just insane (I got to see a lot of work they were doing for Jurassic Park 2 and Batman and Robin, as well as actually seeing the cast of Sliders)

so classic. this is when i used to go so much. i remember when bttf2 was being filmed i tried to go so much because the set was so awesome. most don't even know how what a classic set they are actually looking at. annual passes were like 15 dollars extra after your single day admission.

She said Tom Cruise was going to be in Dick Tracey, although he never was. She also didn’t mention Al Pacino. I wonder if Cruise was originally cast to play Big Boy instead of Pacino.

here's another true story about someone dropping an item from the tram. a tourist from vietnam accidentally dropped his camera into the red sea while the tram was crossing it. he got up from his seat, dove into the red sea and retrieved his camera. security interviewed him and asked why he would do such a thing. the man stated he knew his camera was most likely ruined, but the memory card with all his pictures of his vacation in america were on the card. on a side note: the red sea is no longer there. it's been cemented over, and that lake in this video is only about half the size now.
